26 The term //digital participation// refers to the active involvement in digital society through the use of modern information and communication technology (ICT), such as the Internet. This participation includes access to not only the Internet but also various online services and content. Non-participation in the digital world could lead to a feeling of social exclusion, whereas a feeling of social inclusion may be induced by having access to the Internet as well as the willingness and skills to use it.

Emily West 4.1 28 Participation is important to ensure just and equal measures. Increasingly this must involve digital participation to allow the involvement of larger and more diverse actors in decision-making (Hofmann et al. 2020).  Several components are important for participation to be successful and fair:
29
30 * representativeness of 6+1 groups proportional to their
31 * Inclusiveness (the opportunity and ability of all participants to equally contribute)
32 * Internal transparency (at any time in the process it should be clear where the process is headed and what + why the next step is being taken)
33 * facilitation of deliberation (participants must understand each other and take on others' perspectives).
34
Emily West 7.1 35 Internet access has been desribed as a "right", and furthermore its iequality is revealed by the link between digital exclusion and social deprivation (Digital Scotland).
